CANoe for CAN Compact Training

• An understanding of basic communication protocols and embedded systems
• Experience with automotive software testing or diagnostics
• C programming experience or any scripting experience (CAPL is similar to C)

Audience

• Automotive test engineers and validation specialists
• Software developers working with CAN-based ECUs
• System integrators and engineers involved in diagnostic testing or simulation using Vector tools

CANoe is a comprehensive software tool developed by Vector that is used for the development, testing, and analysis of in-vehicle networks and ECUs, especially those using the CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level automotive engineers and testers who wish to use CANoe to simulate, test, and analyze CAN-based communication systems..

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure CANoe and its components
• Understand CAN protocol fundamentals and message framing
• Create simulations for ECUs and CAN networks using CAPL scripting
• Monitor, analyze, and debug CAN traffic effectively

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
